New Everton Stadium

[Blue peter]

If I hear another person b*tch about the capacity...FFS. You should recognize that us getting a new ground, in this environment, when our football has been this consistently for so long long, is a a large grace. Some g'damn perspective please, we're not owed or deserve anything apart from maybe some pity from the normal opposition supporter.

Keep up will ya? That’s yesterdays news….we’re moaning about the light testing now

Screens are on, got a good look at the screens and what they were showing!!!

Allianz Arena is semi-transparent with lights lighting up from the inside, they're not going to be able to do the same at BMD with steel, hence the lights on the outside at the bottom.

Why expect something that wasn’t in the designs? They showed a subtle blue hue around the bottom part of the roof only - something that seems likely to be achieved with a bit more tinkering. It’s not meant to be like a trip to Blackpool.

I've got it! We are getting sponsored by British Gas. "Cook-cook-cookability, that's the beauty of gas" will do for EFC what Bubbles did for West Ham.

For everyone lamenting the ‘cry arsing’ about lighting.

We’ve built so far what looks to be an incredible stadium, in a truly unique location.

No one is saying they think that’s the final look.

But you can only comment based on the pictures thst have been circulating.

Which as of now they do cheapen the look of the stadium. Fact.

Think everyone just wants the stadium shown in its very best light (excuse the pun)

Which currently it doesn’t as they look proper naff. Hopefully the ‘hue’ appears soon…

I think an €850m stadium can probably be best showcased without recourse to a string of Christmas tree lights.

 

[Drico]

I wish they’d adjust the angle of this one light, it’s doing my head in….

Fair point. But the bigger picture is these look like a strip of Ikea lights rather than something befitting a “world-class” stadium. I’m assuming these are not the final displays, but they look cheap and utterly without imagination in their current form.

Let's call a spade a spade here: it looks 'kin daft.

There's no way the lighting can (or will) be left like that. None.

Reeves specifically mentioned the Central Docks in the Budget as part of Government investment plan.

No arrogance at all pal - I was merely stating a fact.

If TtB was talking bollocks, and after well over 300 episodes, I seriously doubt that the numbers that listen would still tune in faithfully whenever we publish the podcast and now the transcript version (for those who are hard of hearing) that has been incredibly well received.

Your characterisation of him 'leeching off our fanbase' infers that he has made personal gain from his articles and the podcasts - nothing could be further from the truth - is 100% inaccurate and therefore, grossly offensive.

He/we have NEVER monetised his articles nor the podcasts - everything is published free to read/listen to and moreover, free of any adverts.
The same cannot be said of others.

I didn’t mean he has made money as such. We all know that the currency that the esk trades in is self publication and ego inflation.

What I find grossly offensive is his inciting a fanbase constantly with one thing or another. As I understand it, the week the Friedkin takeover got announced, he decided to take shots at other podcasters because he didn’t have any negatives or uncertainty about the future of the club left to twist to his advantage.

If you can’t see that he is a problem then you are part of it and I’m sorry if that offends you but the truth often does

Two thousand news homes to be built in the Central Docks.

If thats the case why are some people cryarsing about them then.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Won't stop 'em cryarsing.

Blues are tiresome.

Its when there is nothing to moan about they'll find something to pick peanuts out of poo with.

Its blatantly not finished.

... must say, nowhere near as good as Goodison's lights, like.

Cor, I love seeing these beams on a match day. That 2016/17 refurb really was something.

Maybe not those, but the “GOODISON” lights are great.

Cryarsing for cryarsing's sake
